I graduated in the Philippines. Like everyone else, The CA BON is asking for the copy of my passport but unfortunately I loss it when I moved my apt a year ago. I didn't really look for it coz its... Read More

Don't blame the evaluators, I say, if they can keep the stupid, greedy and selfish corrupt PH nurses or students from entering the system, the better it is for us that were honest, hard working and unselfish. That also means if one of these dishonest nurses gets a job that might have gone to you, it's not fair to you either.

In fact, if you guys know of anyone of these terrible students or nurses, report them to the CA BON enforcement dept. and do so without giving your name. I would AND I will! Let the CA BON do their jobs.

I actually read the article from CA BRN. It's so crazy how they're hiring all of those investigators. I feel angry and at the same time disappointed at those applicants who had to fake their degrees. I know some students are known for trading cases with classmates to complete cases and for a fact I know students are very clever in altering cases. I would not be surprised if there will be applicants who alter their cases just to have concurrent cases. All I can say is selfish.

To applicants altering their papers:
I've come a long way to become an RN. A US-RN. I've worked hard for this and have been honest on my application. It's not hard guys. I remember joining this forum last year around march-april looking for help so I could get a license in the US. If you are so focused on becoming an RN in California, then meet the requirements, don't alter your cases, hours or other requirements. You will just ruin things for those honest applicants.

I strongly agree to you guys. I know a lot of students that altered and adjusted their documents to comply with the BRN requirements just to stay here in CA and be with their families. But, the main question is how will they know if it is really altered or not? Like my case. I was accused of altering my cases by my evaluator but honestly I really did all my cases concurrent with my theories. Most of my groupmate where midwifes and took Nursing classes to become a nurse. Most of them already completed their cases for DR/CDR, that given me the opportunity to complete my cases at the same time with my theory. I was really devastated when she told me those things but I found out that I was not the only one she accused of altering or faking documents. But, what I know for sure, this will not stop me becoming an RN here in Cali.

I asked that RLE logbook from my evaluator. It is a copy of the typical logbook where we sign our names w/ log in and log out and of course with dates on it. And, it should be signed by the Clinical instructor and Chief nurse.

I feel the same anger and disappointment that you guys have right now.. We all been through a lot to finish school in the Philippines. I experienced going to school without enough money for the day, giving multiple promissory notes to school registrar or even beg my professors to let me take the exams coz I wasnt able to pay the tuition fees on time. Waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning to be able to go to clinical rotation on time and go home at mid night then wake up at the same time again the next day. Case presentations, thesis etc.. After all of these hardships we all ended up not being eligible just because of these selfish people that falsified their documents...

But I am determined to get CA license. I am willing to go back to school if I have to.

To all legitimate PHI grads! We all deserve to practice our profession!!!

No need to re-take the entire nursing program again. Here's how SoCalNurse88 and a few others got their deficiencies done and not only got their ATT in a little over a year, they are now soon going to take the NCLEX-RN (not to become an LVN) in CA!!
